He continued the sexual assaults for 13 years even after she pleaded for him to stop. When she could not take the “guilt” of “betraying her mother” any longer, she eventually confided in her boyfriend.
He slept with his wife in the master bedroom of their flat. Their daughter had her own bedroom but it did not have an air-conditioning unit, so she occasionally slept with her parents. While she slept in the master bedroom with him, he performed a sex act on her, then told her not to tell anyone about what he had done before leaving for work. She listened to him as she was afraid of his temper.
“She felt confused, lost and helpless because on the one hand she was afraid of the accused because of his temper and did not want her parents to divorce, but on the other, he was sexually exploiting her, and she felt shame and anger,” the prosecutors added.In February 2020, she told him that she did not want to have sex anymore. He told her they would both “benefit” from having sex because she could lose weight and he could “reduce stress”, the court further heard.
She then sent her boyfriend a message via the Telegram platform, telling him she had been raped and sexually abused by her father since she was a child. She also revealed to a psychiatrist that she had two self-harm episodes when she was unable to cope with her emotional distress, and had brief thoughts of ending her life. She did not make any suicide attempts.
